Fresh Books to the Pile
I blame bookstores for depleting my cash reserves. Despite all good intentions, I have bought a couple of fiction titles (let’s leave non-fiction out of this for now) to add to the to-read pile.
One was on a recent unplanned visit to Amcorp Mall where I found, in one of the boxes of one of the flea-market traders, a big-copy edition of Primary Colours. I have not seen the movie so thought RM10 was quite fair exchange for this tale of political intrigue and subterfuge. There could be an underlying longing that such intrigues and twisted plots (and minds) only exist in stories but – ah.
today – on my Mummy’s Time Out visit to Times bookstore at Bangsar Shopping Centre, I found, with a gasp, a book I had been searching for weeks ago but then forgot. “Let the Right One In” by John Ajvide Lindqvist. My earlier post would tell you how enthralled I was by his “Handling the Undead“. Let the Right One In is going to be released as a movie but in line with a quote I recently stumbled upon “Never judge a book by its movie“, I’m determined to read this vampire tale first before watching Hollywood’s treatment of it.
